The
last of her family, DIONISE prepares to resist the Viking
invaders, well knowing that her people did not stand a chance.
Offered the opportunity to save all the lives in her care, the young lady
consents to the price demanded by the Viking leader. Though she
hates the thought of man contact, she agrees to marry Conrad.

CONRAD,
the Viking warrior, is looking for a good place to get his roots and grow
rich. He is not ready to burn and kill, for well he knows that
winter in the ruins or winter in the open-field is one and the same.
The woman parleying from the height of the surrounding wall has caught
his imagination and he prepares to have her for himself, together with
all that belongs to her.
